The third and final volume of Kevin J. Last’s books about Cotchford Farm, Hartfield, East Sussex in three different eras. Semi-Detached Suburban Mr Jones is set in the 1960s and tells the story of Brian Jones, the only middle class member of the Rolling Stones and how he came to purchase Cotchford Farm as a country retreat away from the Stones London life.
Despite the fact that he was founder of the group, Jones's increasingly wild behaviour ensured that Mick Jagger eventually became the group's leader. Harking back to his roots, Jones saw himself as a Sussex country gentleman but it all went impossibly wrong due to a vicious East End builder, Frank Thorogood, who made life hell for him with Jones eventually drowning in his own swimming pool in suspicious circumstances. How and why this happened is examined in close detail.
Kevin J. Last has degrees in Film Studies and English Literature. Fascinated by the power of film, he has lectured widely and written, produced and acted in a series of educational/entertainment shows for the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and elsewhere. Subjects have included the Music Hall, Alfred Hitchcock, John Betjeman and World War I. He has been published on a number of occasions. This includes the Daily Mail and two previous books for Unicorn on the history of Cotchford Farm in different time zones.
